[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 437689, member: 7"] I've said it before, and I will say it again -- When she's on her A-Game, I prefer Crawford to Davis, Hepburn, and Stanwyck. I enjoy all of these ladies and their films, but Crawford just might be my favorite of the Diva Quartet. MILDRED PIERCE is one of my favorite classic films, and I enjoy her in SUDDEN FEAR, HUMORESQUE, POSSESSED (1947), GRAND HOTEL, BABY JANE, and many other films. Her MGM Cinderella tales are better than one might expect, especially when you're in the right mood, and I must give Crawford credit --- she changed with the times. Her goal, as she said, was to find a film with "audience identification", and she transitioned many times throughout her four decades in Hollywood.
